Excerpt from an Open

Excerpt from an Open Letter from Faraj Sarkoohi January 3, 1997 Perhaps this note will never reach anyone. But I am hopeful that someone will read it and after my arrest or death, will publish it so that there will be a document, a testament to the pain and suffering that I have experienced. 34 PEN CANADA

i don’t know how long i have. i await imminent arrest or an incident whereby i will be murdered and my death will be presented as a suicide. torture, prison, and death await me. PEN CANADA 35
